FAQ Main step for setup GMSL1 link with MAX9286

Here are the main steps to setup the GMSL1 link with MAX9286

  1. Set local ack in the MAX9286 so that the I2C doesn’t stall when the camera doesn’t respond.
  2. Set configuration link (CLINK) at the serializer to allow I2C responses with no video channel (this command is no acknowledged, which is why we need step a.)
  3. Redo the I2C addresses.  Setup serializer or MAX9286 options and disable CSI
  4. Program the camera.
  5. Enable the serializer (set SEREN) and turn off CLINK in the serializer to use the video channel. Now PCLK is present. And enable CSI output.
